Today’s game is Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve been checking in on this one daily. Did I maybe sort of promise to stick to New Leaf regularly? Maybe. Did I break that promise to myself? Definitely. Am I going to stick with this one? Probably not.
Anyways, I’ve been having a lot of fun with this. Shocker. I know. But I’ve grown especially fond of catching fish to display in my house. I have this squid in named Sammy. I fear Sammy’s enclosure is too small for him, but I don’t have anywhere else to put him other than sell him. And I refuse to do that.
I got both the shops constructed which is great. I ended up getting them both placed, before finally deciding to just Time Travel, as I decided I’d have more fun that way.
After that I went clothes shopping. I find it funny how sassy the player character looks. They look good and they damn well know it.
After dressing myself up I went and looked at the aquarium. Honestly that’s my favorite part of this game. Just the aquarium. Bugs, Art, Fossils? Nope. They can all screw off (nicely), I want to look at the fish dammit. I like how the lighting of the water looks and just like staring. The music that plays there is nice too. Really calming.
I ended up just propping my Switch up and watched them while I did some homework. It was chill. I actually ended up ripping the entire OST and adding it to my Jellyfin to stream.
That’s kind of all I got up too. I wanted to update on what I did last time, try and build up a habit and all that. I’m gonna try and binge Alan Wake II tomorrow, I wanted to marathon it to see how far I get.
my gf took my switch months ago and has exclusively played this
You may not have unlocked that yet, but there’s something else you can do with squids other than selling them. Sammy is probably not going to like it though.
I’ve been playing this the last few days too. I got the game on the Switch for the kids during lockdown and it became an instant favourite with them, but it was disappointing that you could only have one profile that had their own island.
Several years later, we’ve all got MacBooks, and I have been messing about with emulation. There’s a particular emulator that Nintendo killed but forks are still maintained that run incredibly well on Macs. This past weekend saw the three of us reminiscing, each finally with our own island.
Emulation is great, it was how I used to play this (even if I never stuck with a save file). The singular save file was such a missed opportunity. I wish we got the option to choose between a shared file and everyone having their own
